       5 . A mop head according to  claim 1  wherein the scrubbing member is mounted in the second receiving formation by at least one retaining device in the second receiving formation, the retaining device including at least one resilient retaining tooth which digs into and/or frictionally grips the scrubbing member. 
   
   
       6 . A mop head according to  claim 1  wherein the mop body is provided as a moulding in a mouldable material, and the first and second channel formations are integrally moulded together with the separating member. 
   
   
       7 . A mop head according to  claim 6  wherein the separating member is a common wall of the first and second channel formations, and the first channel formation is provided by a first wall of the mop head body and the separating member, and the second channel is provided by a second wall of the mop head body and the separating member. 
   
   
       8 . A mop head according to  claim 1  wherein a handle mounting device is attached to or provided integrally with the mop body, the handle extending in use, generally upwardly.
